Program Overview

Science, Business and Innovation Program

The Science, Business and Innovation program is designed to provide students with a broad and general basis in the first year, covering subjects such as sustainable energy, physics, biochemistry, and laboratory practice. The program consists of four main components: project-based education and internships, exact sciences, business and social sciences, and philosophy and minor.

Program Structure

• Project-based education and internships (30%): This component focuses on innovation projects, energy, pharmaceuticals, alternative fuels, diagnostics, and health.
• Exact sciences (30%): This component covers subjects such as biochemistry, physics, thermodynamics, mathematics, and statistics.
• Business and social sciences (20%): This component includes subjects such as management and organization, entrepreneurship and innovation, and finance.
• Philosophy and minor (20%): This component allows students to choose a minor, such as econometrics, educational minor, or management and innovation.
